ADJUSTING DOUBLE-CLICK
Double-clicking with the pen tip can be made easier by expanding the tap area that accepts a double-click
(the double-click distance) and reducing the speed required to perform a double-click. This can be set in
the D
OUBLE
C
LICK
tab. Because a large double-click distance may adversely affect your brushstrokes in
some drawing applications, Wacom recommends setting a small double-click distance and using the lower
side switch to double-click.
Use custom double-click settings
when checked.
Note: DOUBLE-CLICK ASSIST can
be enabled for some applications
and disabled for others. See
Working with Application-Specific
Settings for more information.
Enter a number from 1 to 25
pixels or click the up and down
arrows to increase or decrease
double-click distance.
Drag the slider to change the double-click speed.
A slower speed makes double-clicking easier.
Tap twice on this icon with your pen tip to
automatically set double-click distance and speed
based on the way you normally double-click.
Double-click on the target
to test your settings before
applying them.

Airbrush Settings
The Intuos2 Airbrush is equipped with a drawing tip, a fingerwheel, a single side switch, and an eraser.
Button functions are set in the same manner as with the Intuos2 Pen. Additionally, the fingerwheel
sensitivity range can be customized to suit your preference.
In supporting applications, the fingerwheel can be used to control ink flow, brush size, opacity, or other
variables. Reducing the fingerwheel range allows you to achieve the same effect with less finger
movement. Move the wheel forward for less effect and move it back for more effect.
Visit Wacom’s web site for a list of applications that currently support airbrush features.
MINIMUM requires the least amount of wheel
movement to achieve maximum effect.
INTERMEDIATE requires a medium amount of
wheel movement to achieve maximum effect.
MAXIMUM is the default setting, and requires
you to move the wheel over its full range to
achieve maximum effect.
